My cd player started to have problems this week. When im listening to a cd and i go to like track 7 the audio becomes distorted and even plays some parts of the previous track. I took it to ford they said im out of warranty.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Im looking to just getting a new stereo system. Any suggestions?
I had it the other day, when I started my truck, the radio was all distorted, and had very low volume. I turned the power off on the stereo, then turned it back on, and it was fine. A few months ago, I started my truck, and the stereo was very sluggish to respond to any buttons i pushed. It would take upwards of a minute to respond to volume, station changes, and input changes. I turned the truck off, and the next time I started it, it was fine.

Not worth fixing an OE stereo. Everyone I know who's had a Ford has had issues with playback and discs getting scratched by the reader. Ford radio $300. Better than Ford radio with Sirius/XM, USB port, HD Radio $250 with install.

Yes. My current one is a Dual with USB and Bluetooth that I picked up at Walmart for $110. Gets the job done. Before that was a Pioneer that was built for iPod's, which got swapped to replace the old Pioneer in a Cherokee that was built for iPod's but was still set up for firewire charging (which ended when the video came out) and wouldn't charge iPhones like the newer Pioneer would.

Do it yourself! Extremely easy! I do radios all the time. If you have an 8mm socket and about 15 butt connectors it should take a newbie no more than an hour. Get a wire harness and a din kit and your set!
I have been looking at that. The downside, I loose all of my switches hidden in the DIN cubby hole. Then the AM/FM becomes more expensive than my CB...which is not great to me since you can't see the CB and the truck never gets locked.
